blurring the lines of what people think they want in terms of sexual/emotional intimacy.
The twist with Dean was so great, and problematic as the set-up was, I even appreciated how the episode emphasized that the men knew, once the spell wore off, that they really wanted their wives and not the stripper-fantasy.
aaaah! I love it.
:D When Dean was like, "How the hell are we supposed to find her?", I was thinking, "Um...you introduce yourself to strippers and see which one calls herself Snow White?"
Ah. I think this is an unreliable narrator thing. Sam idealizes Dean, he always has. But after those few months where he was on his own, I think he simply sees Dean more clearly now - that at least some of the fearless tough guy business is an act. But instead of attributing it to a shift in his own perspective...
Ooh, this makes so much sense. And the writers seem to confirm it in 4x18 when Chuck questions Sam drinking demon blood and suggests he's doing it to feel stronger and more in control.
I could do the whole bit but ~spoilers.
Well, I would be interested in hearing more later!
I THINK SO TOO.
IT WOULD JUST MAKE EVERYTHING MORE PAINFUL, SO OF COURSE IT HAPPENED.
And I just rewatched "Red Sky at Morning," and Dean says, "I'm not gonna kill her, I think slow torture is the way to go" (emphasis mine). !!! There's so much foreshadowing in this episode that isn't apparent the first time through!
